Possibly the most influential "look" in history.
Louise Brooks (born Mary Louise Brooks, 14th November 1906 – 8th August 1985)
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
Adorable - sexy, glamorous, a rebel, fragile and a Tom Boy all at the same time
